When I weigh, I wait until after a trip to the potty, but before I bath or put on lotion. (The extra moisture probably weighs something.) NO jewelry, even put on contacts rather than wear glasses - ounces of difference between the two. . . I would weigh without corrective lenses at all if I could see the scale!

There are actually more rituals I go through, but you might think I'm strange if I shared them all. Does anyone else want to share? Come on, It will definitely make me feel better to know I'm not the only one.

hehe that is too funny, I've got long hair too and I've sometimes wondered how much it weighs.
Yeah, I wait till I've been to the bathroom, before I eat or drink anything in the morning, and I only wear underwear.

LOL! I thought I was the only one with a morning weight ritual! I only weigh first thing in the morning and I do it naked to ensure consistency. I also tend to weigh myself a few times as my scale has occasional fluctuations. I wish I could limit myself to once a week but I am way too obsessed with the number for that!

I absolutely have to go to the bathroom first, take off all my clothes, and also take out my ponytail scrunchie! I also get off and on a few times to make sure the first time wasn't a fluke - or a mistake depending on what it says. Last, but not least, once I even cut my nails hoping for a loss!

My first weigh in happens after I pee, remove my hair band and change from pjs to shorts and a t-shirt. I've started weighing on the Wii board, because it gives me the closest weight to the doctor's office scale. Unfortunately, my living room (where the Wii is) has a huge picture window, so - no nekkid weighing for me. I always make sure the Wii board is placed in precisely the same place (lined up with pattern markings on the floor.)

Then I do however much Wii Fit-ing I have time for (between 10 and 30 minutes) by now... other things are ... moving - so I go take care of that, then come back and weigh again.

Finally, I shower, dry my hair, put on a very light robe, and weigh for the final time.
